Uffizi: Schmidt speaks in Chinese and opens new video section on website

After the two Chinese-language clips made on International Museum Day, in which the director of the Uffizi Galleries, Eike Schmidt, addressed users directly in their language( linkhere ), the Uffizi is launching a new section on its official website dedicated to videos. Collected here are all the videos posted in various places and on different social profiles, so that they can be visible even to those who are not present on social channels.

The new section is intended to be a thematic index to locate and review videos that have been published in the past and that respond to one’s interests. Gathered in narrative containers, which are constantly being updated, the videos are divided by theme: Una Reggia da Scoprire offers videos dedicated to the curiosities, secrets, and wonders of Palazzo Pitti; Gli Uffizi visti da vicino to the famous masterpieces and lesser-known works of the Gallery of Statues and Paintings; and Arte e Natura nel Giardino di Boboli to the natural heritage, architectural and sculptural beauty of the famous park. There are also films on lectures held at the Florentine museum venue, such as Archaeology at the Uffizi, Masterpieces on Paper, Treasures from the Depots, Behind the Scenes and Universal Workshop, as well as the lecture series Etruscans between History and Myth. And again, Exhibitions, Performances and Shows, Restorations, Educational Activities, My Room, Art and Culture Dialogues and Uffizi en español offer additional video stories for all tastes.

"Now that we are about to reopen our cultural venues after a ten-week lockdown, the new digital content that has been ramping up on our platforms since March becomes even more valuable when connected with the originals,“ Schmidt commented. ”As of today, it is possible for several hundred works of art that can be admired in our galleries to delve deeper into their content with videos and cards that can be accessed for free on your smartphone. Videos are cross-referenced with texts, and so are texts with high-definition images. In this way, everyone can have a plurality of accesses and various levels of useful information, whether to prepare the visit to the Uffizi, or to make the experience itself more engaging, or even to deepen it later."
